I've got a USB Logitec Quickcam, and under Madrake 8.0, it just works out

There is a "webcam" program that does the grabbing and uploading for you, 
which is (I think) part of the Video4Linux tools.  

Also have a look at the Linux USB website http://www.linux-usb.org/ which
will give you some info on drivers for your webcam.
